CC Her Movement

I know you've said don't comment on where her head is *but* bear with me.....she doesn't appear to be working into a contact all the time shown by how she brings her nose up and out; she's quite short and choppy through her shoulder which means that when she does lift up her head, she isn't rounding over her back, which means her strides look even shorter. At times when you do push her forward, her back rounds and she pushes off more with her bum and flows more. Her canter is lovely, balanced for the most part, but leans slightly round corners.

There are times on this video where she looks very nice, but times where the movement is a little awkward and lacking in impulsion and rhythm.
 
I'd say she looks like she is very capable of nice movement but is not het truly forward, so is a bit on her forehand which is cutting her foreleg stride down and making it choppy.

I know you said not to cc your riding, but I think if you can get your leg on, and back (more under you) you will find her stepping under more with the back leg, and lighten the back end.

She looks like she's capable of good hock forsook and good shoulder extension, but hasn't yet the forward or impulsion to use it.

I think she has decent rhythm, but it is being disrupted by her moving her head about a bit to find her balance.

Lots more transitions within the pace, and get your leg back, and I reckon she'll be cracking!
